Right now, Texas State Sen. Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth) is leading a 13-hour filibuster against draconian anti-choice legislation that would severely impede women's access to reproductive health services in the state of Texas. She has until midnight CST for the special session to end and the bill to die.

You can watch her filibuster live here:



Thoughts and comments?

UPDATE (1:37 AM): SB5 passed at 12:01 AM, although Republicans are claiming the vote was at 11:59 PM. This vote is likely to be challenged in court. Due to the prospect of challenges, the legislation will likely not go into effect until everything is decided.

UPDATE (3:00 AM): The vote on SB5 has been rendered moot. The bill, for now, is dead.

Read about this earlier, she betta slay her filibuster.

I've been keeping up with this all day. My state is such mess.

Lord, please let that regressive, misogynistic bill die.

Rooting for her Hope she makes it to midnight

!! Wendy better SLAY. Nearly 2 hours to go!

this **** has my heart racing, good ****ing god just 1 hour and 40 minutes...

I love the arbitrary bull******** going on over technicalities, that might aid her effort quite a bit.

If they can keep up this pointless debate about parliamentary procedures and rules there's a good chance the clock will run out. 88 minutes!

Wendy Davis is a QUEEN.

I'm just sitting here watching. I hope this nonsense continues, all they're doing is running down the clock with this point of order ********.

If this filibuster succeeds Wendy Davis will be a HERO. Should the bill pass, 37 of our 42 abortion clinics in Texas will be shut down. Disgusting.

Your avi Ann Richards was amazing. She truly cared about people.

ur faves?

1 more hour!

I've been in that room!

Bless her.
